The European Dimension

During May and June at ACES, we celebrate our European Dimension. Strong ties built over more than 25 years between ACES researchers and European collaborators have led to significant achievements in biomedical engineering and electromaterials science.

I am pleased to report that these relationships have been further strengthened, as ACES recently entered a new seven-year phase of $AUD25 million Australian Government funding through the Australian Research Council. With the renewed funding came three new official European ACES partner organisations – Dublin City University (Ireland), University of Warwick (UK) and Friedrich Alexander University (Germany).

The launch of a global Master of Philosophy in BioFabrication course is an example of how ACES is exploring new partnerships with European institutions, in this case Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and University of Wurzburg in Germany.

Our European network is extensive, and we remain committed to seeking alliances in Europe. I invite you to peruse the ACES ‘European Dimension’ booklet and I welcome the opportunity to discuss collaborative research programs and exchange of researchers with you in person.
